The Ganesha idol is 16 feet tall and 14 feet wide and its posture, of a traditional sitting Ganesha blessing his followers, has been kept unchanged for a long time.

The idol has been sculpted by the Chembur-based artist Kamulkar for several years now. Kamulkar has almost become a household name in the field of sculpting Ganesha idols and the massive vermillion coloured statue has become a symbol of the suburb.

In 2013, Chembur Ka Raja Ganpati celebrations begins on September 9th with Ganesh Chaturthi Pratham Pujan and ends on September 18th with Udwasan Pujan of Ganpati Visarjan on September 18th (Anant Chaturdashi day).
